Draw weight scale ?

[Tx_hunter89]

I've got a cabelas draw weight scale and was wondering if anyone has one and can tell me how to read it. Do you go by the bottom of the marker or top?

It makes sense to be the back side of it but it says my 70lb bow is only pulling 65 when reading it that way so I'm not sure

Read the widest portion of the scale. Top or right as in the pic.

They're not very accurate btw...

Ya that's what I was calling the bottom or back side what's a more accurate scale?

Here's a related question I had the other day. Would it be possible to use a deer hanger scale to read my draw weight? Have my wife watch the screen for the highest reading before it reaches full draw?

yes as long as you know the scale is reading correctly.
